Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday July 18th
Good People
On Thursday the 18th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the British musical comedy, Greatest Days.
Our 8pm screening is the award-winning tale of two young men fighting for their freedom, Io Capitano.
GREATEST DAYS
UK, 2023, Comedy, Musical
108 mins, Rated PG 13 (strong language)
Cast: Aisling Bea, Emma Amos, Matthew McNulty.
In the mid 1990s, a group of teen girls live out their dream when they all sneak out to see their favourite boy band play live in concert.
Twenty-five years later, all their lives have changed and the group has lost touch. But then, Rachel, the leader of the group, wins tickets to see the boy band performing their reunion tour.
It's one more epic show for the long lost friends to all see and a chance for the women to reunite and reignite their friendship and discover that maybe, their greatest days are ahead of them.
A blast of feelgood reunion excitement. Don't miss it. - The Guardian

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
